George Stephen to Buxton, about their differing attitudes towards the Mauritius compensation and the grudge he held against Buxton over not being consulted before the latter made his decision because he had made the enslaved people of Mauritius his own peculiar problem, 14 Dec 1835
He gives his own version of the part played by Buxton in obtaining the minute at the Anti-Slavery Society's meeting, suggesting that it was because Gurney and Buxton were related to David Barclay, to whom they had sent a report of the minute for circulation in Mauritius and Barclay would benefit from any compensation paid to the extent of £50,000.
